This could be a real time snapshot of your business, your customer, your goods your employee…. what ever. These systems may not naturally communicate with each other so a further application is needed. This application for lack of a better way of explaining it ‘directs traffic,’ whilst hosting and applying business logic predetermined by the developer. That application is Microsoft Biztalk.

Since its release in 2000 Biztalk has sparked a wave of IT integration in modern business and challenged the notion that System integration or Business Process automation need be prohibitively expensive. It is now in its sixth release and it going from strength to strength.
